Flexible Angular Expansion Joint (Cardan Type W) for Pipeline Applications

Bellow compensators provide flexible, hermetic connection of oil pipelines, gas pipelines, pipelines and units of hydraulic, gas, air, fuel and oil systems of apparatuses of ground equipment. Compensators are designed to compensate temperature and mechanical movements of pipeline systems located in aboveground (including indoors) and underground laying of pipelines, in channels, tunnels, chambers. Conducted medium: oil, oil products, water, air, vacuum, steam, various types of liquids and gases. Angle compensators can be used if the residual elongation of the pipe branch and the axial displacement of the system resulting from movement can be compensated by a pipe section through bending (angular movement). They do not transmit spacing forces to the pipeline through the use of an anchor/gimbal system with no axial movement.
